Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Kent
Welcome to the bloomin' marvellous "Garden of England", Kent! Sprinkled with Oliver’s Travels cute cottages, bee-shaped lodges, mansion houses, seaside wonders and colossal party houses, you will find just the perfect place to stay to discover this wonderful county. So, gather up your favourite friends or your family or whisk away your special someone for a romantic getaway. Thanks to Oliver’s Travels, your adventure in this flowery haven is just a booking away!
Kent is home to some real showstoppers. First up is Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Archbishop of Canterbury's favourite hangout. With its Gothic glam and incredible history, it is a must-visit for history buffs and spiritual seekers alike. Leeds Castle, named the "loveliest castle in the world", is surrounded by a moat and stunning gardens that make you question if you have stepped into a fairy tale. The White Cliffs of Dover stand tall and proud, like the bodyguards of Britain. These chalky wonders have guarded this fine land for centuries and a trip to Dover not only treats you to panoramic views of the English Channel but also a chance to explore the historic Dover Castle.
Nature lovers adore The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a green haven of rolling hills, woodlands and charming villages. It feels like Mother Nature threw a garden party and you are invited! You can lace up those hiking boots, hop on a bike or just bask in the countryside tranquility. If you are looking for beachside bliss, Margate and Broadstairs have sandy shores and a lively arts scene. You should check out the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.
Canterbury is a living, breathing medieval postcard with cobbled streets, timber-framed buildings and the River Stour snaking through. Tenterden and Faversham, the market towns, are like stepping into a scene from a quaint British movie. Markets, boutique shops and historic architecture blend together in a beautiful way. Chilham, the village with a Tudor-style square, is practically a movie star. You might have seen it in period dramas, it is that photogenic.
There are plenty of festivals that take place, including The Canterbury Festival of music, theatre and art. The Rochester Dickens Festival offers Victorian-themed events, parades and street performances. It is like stepping into a Dickens novel. Get your taste buds ready for a dance because Kent is the "Garden of England" for a reason. Featuring orchards, hop gardens and vineyards, it is a feast for the senses. You can visit farmers' markets, cider houses and wineries to savour the local delights. Kentish cherries and apples are the celebrities here and you are the VIP guest at their flavour-packed party.
Kent is a whirlwind of history, natural beauty and culture. You will fall head over heels and the memories will linger like the scent of summer roses. So, whether you are storming medieval castles, sauntering through charming towns, lazing on a beach or feasting on oysters in Whitstable, a trip to Kent guarantees an adventure. Cheers to Kent where every moment is a bloomin' good time!

Owner Profile
Owner
Michael
How long have you owned the property?
We've owned it for three years but have been renting it out for just over a year now.
What was it about the property that first captured your heart?
We originally bought it as a holiday home because we instantly fell in love with the beautiful gardens and the surrounding countryside.
Does the property have any interesting historical stories?
Yes – the gardens were designed in the 1960s by the renowned landscape designer Anthony du Gard Pasley, who authored several books on gardening. At one point, the gardens were even listed with Kent’s Garden Trust.
Do you have a favourite room in the house?
Not particularly, as each room has its own unique charm. However, when we visit, we always stay in Bedroom 1 in Clarence House because of its incredible space and comfort.
For anyone coming to stay, is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
- Really do? Spend a day in Deal – it’s a wonderful seaside town. If you’re a golf enthusiast, this area is paradise, with world-class courses just minutes away.
Really see? The White Cliffs of Dover are absolutely breathtaking. Canterbury is also a must-visit, offering fascinating history and attractions for all ages.
What insider tip would you give about the property or the area?
Start your morning in the gardens with a coffee and soak up the peaceful sounds of nature. We've often spotted deer, pheasants, and other wildlife roaming around. At the back of the garden, there's a special viewpoint cut into the hedge where you can admire the rolling fields. And for the ultimate relaxation, unwind in the hot tub or pool spa area while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
